HRM part 2

Today has been a very long day. Woke up at 6am and could not fall back asleep. I've resigned myself to the fact that I am now a morning person, which really isn't a bad thing. Had my coffee and got my day started. Around 3, I started messing around with my new running accessory. Calculated my HRmax using two different calculations and got a range between 188 and 192.8. I set my zones according to the lower number, but I think that because I am on the smaller side, my HRmax tends to be higher (maybe I am just out of shape). I started my run and the monitor started beeping at me constantly. Took me until halfway to washington square to realize I had all the zones 'on' (smile). I need to do a little more reading on this, but my average HR was 177. Call me crazy, but I don't think I was running at 90% capacity for 6.2 miles. The run was good with the exception of the gnats that took kamikaze dives toward my forehead. Disgusting.
